HYEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 532,855, dated January 22, 1895. l

Application led October 29, 1894. Serial No. 527,197- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, .I AMES WILSON, of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to heating stoves, the object of my invention being to construct a stove preferably of sheet metal, said stove having double side-walls and the draft-flue thereof on the inside of the stove and between the two Walls.

My invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described and claimed. A

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is atop plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken approximately on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the damper of which I make use in the construction of my stove. Fig. 5 is a bottom perspective view of one end of said damper. Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional view taken approximately on the indicated line 6-6 of Fig. 3.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, 1,1 indicate ordinary stove-legs, the same being fixed in any suitable manner to the bottom-plate 2, said plate having in the center thereof a rectangular opening 3. Located immediately ben eath this openin g 3 and adapted to slide backward and forward in bearings 4 fixed to the under side of the bottom-plate 2 is an ash-pan 5.

Mounted upon the bottom-plate 2 and fixed in any suitable manner to the flange 6 on the edge of said plate is the'outer wall 7 of my stove, the same being oval in plan view. This wall is preferably constructed of sheet metal, and has fixed to the upper edges the top-plate 8, said top-plate 8 having near one end thereof a circular opening 9, the same adapted to be closed by a suitable cover, such as 10. Near the other end of the top-plate 8 is a circular opening 1l, the same being surrounded by an annular collar 12, upon which the stove-pipe is adapted to be mounted.

Rigidly fixed to the bottom-plate 2 and the top-plate 8 and within the outer wall or cas- .outer wall of the stove, and of such a size as to` leave a slight air space 14 between it and the outer wall 7. At one end of and near the lower edge of the inner wall 13 is formed a transverse slit 15. The material above this slit l5 is then bent into semi-circular form, as indicated byk 16 (Fig. 6), thus forming the draft-line 17. Immediately above this draftliuc and in the top-plate 8 of the stove are formed draft-openings 18 that are adaptedto be closed by a sliding cover 19, the same having openings 2O therein adapted to register whenever desired with the draft-openings 18.

A sliding cover for the opening 3 thatleads into the ash-pan 5 is formed of a rectangular piece of sheet metal 21, the same having riveted to the under side thereof a strap 22, the ends of which are bent into a plane below the body thereof in order that they will engage beneath the edges of therectangular opening 3, thus forming a guide for said sliding cover 2l.

The `handle 23 is fixed in any suitable manner to the top side of the sliding cover 21 and extends horizontally through the double wall of the stove, and is there provided with a ring or handle 24. By this handle the sliding cover is manipulated.

In the practical operation ofmy improved stove, fuel having been placed upon the bottom-plate 2 thereof and lighted, the products of combustion will pass out through the circular opening 11 and up through the stovepipe to the chimney. The sliding cover 19 being manipulated so that the draft openings 20 therein register with the draft openings 18 in the top-plate 8, cold air will pass through said openings and downward through the draft-flue 17 formed between the double wall of the stove. As said air passes downwardly through'said draft-Hue, it will necessarily to some extent become heated and in thisstal-e will pass into and be consumed by the iiame. This I have found produces much better combustion than where cold air is introduced directly into a re; also the heating powers o f a fire of this character are greatly increased.

When desired, the handle 23 is pulled out- IOO ward, thus uncovering the ash-pan 5 and permitting the ashes to fall into said ash-pan, and from there to be removed.

Thus it will be seen how I have constructed a stove that may be produced at minimum cost, and that possesses superior advantages in point of simplicity, durability and general efficiency.

What I claim is- 1. A heating stove constructed with double walls, and a down-draft ue stamped or bent from the inner one of the double walls.

2. A heating-stove constructed with double walls, a down-draft flue formed between the walls of said stove by forming a horizontal slit near the lower edge of the inner Wall and JAMES NVILSON.
